Working together on SAF supply

Emirates has reached an agreement with Shell Aviation for the supply of over 300,000 gallons of blended SAF for use at the airline’s international hub in Dubai.
The first SAF delivery under the agreement is expected to commence before the end of the year, making it the first time that SAF is supplied through the Middle Eastern airport’s fuelling system.

The agreement is the latest step forward taken by Emirates as part of its environmental strategy that focuses on three areas - emissions reduction, responsible consumption, and the conservation of wildlife and habitats.

Through Avelia, Emirates will purchase the physical SAF and associated environmental attributes to decarbonise its Scope 1 related emissions, while Scope 3 environmental attributes associated to the same physical SAF will be purchased...
